In this chapter, we will share with you some of the **top Web Framework repos (WF repos) on GitHub in 2021** measured by different metrics including the number of stars, PRs, contributors, countries, regions and so on.

Note: 
1. You can move your cursor onto any of the repository bars/lines on the chart and get the exact number. 
2. The SQL commands above each chart are what we use on our TiDB Cloud to get the analytical results. Try those SQL commands by yourselves on TiDB Cloud with [this 10-minute tutorial](/blog/try-it-yourself/).

## Star history of top Web Framework repos since 2011

We sort all web framework repositories from GitHub by the total number of historical stars since 2011. For visualizing the results more intuitively, we show the top 10 open source databases by using an interactive line chart.

This is the comprehensive ranking calculated by z-score:
